This place is nice, but incredibly expensive. The view while you dine is nice, but the view from the Signature Lounge is arguably better, and the appetizers and drinks sold in the lounge end up damaging your wallet a lot less than the restaurant. I recommend going out to eat somewhere reasonably priced, then hitting up the Signature Lounge for drinks afterward if you just want to place to sit and enjoy the lovely lights of the Chicago skyline.

This is one of my favorite places to take out-of-towners. The view of the city is incredible! I have only had drinks here and (as you might imagine) they are not cheap, but they are strong so I think it's worth it.

Why would you serve cold guacamole? I'm not talking room temp, i'm talking COLD. It's a sign that it's not fresh, otherwise why would it need to be in the fridge? My boyfriend and I ordered the guac and chips along with drinks- the waitress was very nice. The view was very nice. The annoying tourists taking a MILLION pictures were awful. I had a coffee with Balieys, which was good and had a mound of whipped cream on it.

You really are paying for the view. I think it is a much better view than the Sears Tower and the Sunday brunch is decent enough if you go hungry so you can eat enough. Lunch and dinner otherwise is very expensive and each item is pricey
